This Short Story The Bonded Donkey is quite interesting to all the

people. Enjoy reading this story.

In a small village, there lived a potter. He had a donkey.

Everyday his donkey would carry soil from the field to his house.
Since the field was quite far off, the potter would rest under a
tree midway, tying his donkey nearby.

One day, the potter forgot to take the rope with which he tied the
donkey everyday. When he reached the tree, he thought, “How do
I tie this donkey today? He might run away if I sleep. “The potter
decided to tie down holding the donkey’s ears so that the donkey
would not run away.

But this way neither the donkey was comfortable nor the potter
was able to take rest. A saint, who happened to be passing by,
saw the potter holding on to the donkey’s ears. Then the saint
wanted to know what the problem of the potter was. When the
potter told the saint what the problem was, the wise saint said,
“Take the donkey to the place where you tie him everyday.
Pretend to tie him using an imaginary rope. I assure you he won’t
run away." The potter did what the saint had said.

He left the donkey and went to take a nap. When he woke up, to
his surprise and relief, he found the donkey standing in the same
place.

Soon the potter prepared to leave for home. But the donkey did
not move. “What is wrong with this donkey!" exclaimed the potter
in frustration.

Luckily, the potter saw the wise saint again. He ran up to the
saint and told him about the donkey’s strange behavior. The saint
said, “You tied up the donkey, but did you untie him?" Go and
pretend to untie the rope with which you had tied the donkey."
The potter followed the saint’s advice.

Now the donkey was ready to leave for home. The potter
understood that donkey 
was the bonded donkey. The potter thanked the wise saint and
went home happily with his donkey.
